Were me, as wisly god my soule save!

To seyn a thing through which ye might be wroth;

And, to that day that I be leyd in grave,

75

A trewer servaunt shulle ye never have;

And, though that I on yow have pleyned here,

Forgiveth it me, myn owne lady dere!

Ever have I been, and shal, how-so I wende,

Outher to live or dye, your humble trewe;
